Tne Baltimore & Ohio.

BALTIMORE, a pril 9.-There is a grow
ing conviction here that there has been no
deal nor will there be any serious move
ment to divert the control of the Baltimore
q Ohio railroad to any syndicate nor to any
other railroad combination. The general
belief is that President Garrett has secured
all the stock offered and has now, with the
stock of two or three holders of consider
able stock, the entire control. So general
is the belief that the matter is no more dis
cussed. Mr.. Garrett has. received a letter
from a gentleman in London expressing re-
greet that any movement for a transfer of
the road has been made. as the Baltimore &
Ohio has always been one of the few roads
that was not subject to stock jobbing oper-
atoms.

CHICAGO. April 9.-The Milwaukee G.
ST. Paul railroad has given notice that it
will take the same action III regard to rates on
freight to Council Bluffs as may be inaugur-
tied by the Burlington & Northern road on
rates to ST. Paul. This apparently means
that the st. Paul will attempt a system of
-eprsals throughout Iowa should the
Burlington & Northern cause the st. PauPs
local rate to become affected by any alter
ing of the existing tariffs.

FIRE IN GRANT ROW.

Prompt Action Prevents Great Damage
and Loss.
The supreme court had just passed a de-
cree yesterday afternoon at 1890 O'Clock
determining the litigation that has been
pending on the Grant row property when
house 2Ol East Capitol street, occupied by
Senator Blair, was discovered to be on fire.
An alarm soon brought the fire department,
and flames were discovered to be confined
to the roof OF Senator Blair's house and to
that of Mr.. Geo. G. Henning, No. 203. The
firemen worked valiautly and soon had the
fire, which for time, looked threatening,
under control. The loss by fire and water
will probably reach about s., 800.
There is no definite cause assigned for
the origin of the fire except that dry leaves
in a large urn on the roof caught fire and
the sparks set fire to the roof. Mrs. Blair,
who was sick in her room, was escorted to
place Of safety by Mr.. Trainor, secretary
of the library commission.

THE PETITION OFF RIGHT.
Civil Service Commission Sustained by
the District Conrt.

In the court in general term yesterday
In the matter Of the petition of right pre-
sented some time since by Morris s. Miller,
Of New York state, Justice Hagner de-
livered the opinion of the court overrullng
the application and Diminishing the petition.
The object Of Mr.. Miller In filing the
petition was to show that the civil service
commission act was unconstitutional and
that the commissioners In carrying It out
were usurping the rights OF the citizens.
Justice Hagner said that the petition had
been before the court twice, first originally,
and then came up on the certlfcation OF
the circuit court. The courts of this Dis.
trict we're eighty.slx years old and those Of
the county some twenty years older, and
they had searched the books, but failed to
find a case where this writ had been In
voked and sustained. The petitioner asks
that the court put it's veto on the civil SER
vice commission, and asserts that it has
done various acts infringing the rights of
the citizens. They had given the petitioner
hearing, for he was entitled to It; but
they, could not grant him the relief asked.
The Judge cited the case of the United
States against Lee, 100 U. s. Besides, It
was political matter, not the subject for
court Of justice.

to Galts jewelry establishment and asked
to be shown high.prlced watch. Mr..
Norman Gait brought out $500 time piece,

hand. Mccarthy then asked to be shown
chain, and a $50 one was attached TO the
watch. Mr.. Gait showed the watch and
chain, but retained firm hold on the
watch. Mccarthy made sudden grab and
ierked the watch and chain out Of young
Mr.. Galts hand and made for the door.
The elder Mr.. Gait saw the act and headed
Mccarthy Oft just as he had reached that
point. A tussle ensued between the men, in
whichlM Mccarthy drew a,,revolver on Mr.. Gait.
The clerks came to Mr.. Galt's assistance
and overpowered the bold thief and held
him until Officer Breen arrived and took
him to the first precinct station house. A
paper was found in McCarthy's pocket
which read as follows: "Pay to Gait & Co,
